More blood and guts than I generally prefer, but this series usually has more of that than the Mercy Thompson stories. Good plot line with lots of historical tie downs. Anna grows stronger and Charles seems to doubt himself more. Graham's reading is lively and easy to follow.

A good idea, but

Revisado: 01-14-23

The underlying premise is an interesting, if irreverent, idea. The goal of saving the world from utter extinction is unquestionably worthwhile. The sex obsessed protagonist, however, was very hard to tolerate. I feel no desire to read anything else from this author.

No greased sheep race

Revisado: 11-28-22

Clara Parkes, with her self-imagined "Master's in Yarn Making" program, visits a wool farm, buys a commercial bale of fleece, and follows through the entire process from caring for and shearing the sheep to scouring, carding, spinning, plying, skeining, and dyeing that wool. All this takes place in the dwindling (and perhaps dying--no "e" in that) US wool industry.

A sympathetic voice with a personal interest in the subject, people, and situation, she spins a tremendous tale here in her own words, one of hope as well as tragedy. Well worth listening, even if you aren't a hand spinner or knitter. Fascinating too, if you are.

Better than the Original

Revisado: 10-30-20

I admit, when I first heard of this retelling of H. Beam Piper's book, Little Fuzzy, I had serious doubts. I was wrong. John Scalzi has renewed the importance of the original by multiplying it's impact at least an order of magnitude. The original message is still relevant and alive, but the effectiveness of the narrative is redrawn in contemporary terms.

Brilliant telling for a satisfying story

Revisado: 08-03-20

I admit to being a big fan of Patricia Briggs' writing. I have read this story before, but this audio version gives it new life. I strongly recommend it.

A gem, not untarnished

Revisado: 03-03-20

Fun to finally witness an event long heralded and obliquely referenced yet never fully revealed. I nonetheless felt that a little more detail and background would have been valuable, even for those of us who have read all the previously published books.

Jolly good work

Revisado: 02-23-20

T E Kinsey has captured the spirit of Conan Doyle and combined it with the wit of Dorothy Sayers in Lady Emily Hardcastle and her maid, Flo Armstrong. Flo's narrative in the manner of Dr. Watson has humor and insight as she brings this complex double murder to a conclusion. I look forward to the next book in the series. Elizabeth Knowelden does a fine job rendering the characters and style in her performance.

Captivating

Revisado: 11-07-19

While I enjoy shapeshifters better than most other urban fantasy, the description on this one caught my eye. Different, no heavy romance and sounded humorous. Well, it is funny at times, but also deadly serious. Caught up in the mystery, I kept on until the serious suspense at the end. Not only did I enjoy it, I look forward to the next book in the series. The audio narration was excellent, bringing the characters to life as it should.

Dashingly well done

Revisado: 11-01-19

Very well researched, very very English and proper. Featuring ladylike (well, mostly) detectives, and engagingly voiced by Barbara Rosenblat. Puzzle well solved and not an easy one.

Heartwarming Humor

Revisado: 09-18-19

What's funny about the angel of death? Listen to this to find out. In the end though, it isn't the clever wit that makes this skit so good. It's the truthfulness, the warmth, and the sincerity. Oh, and no politicians were harmed in the making of this production.
